The second time was not so bad, and only involved rummaging through the boxes upon boxes of DVDs at <a href=\"http:\/\/jandr.com\">J&#038;R<\/a> right before Xmas in 2001 because I had remembered seeing a copy ten months beforehand and, sure enough, I found it and got it for my niece. I am reasonably sure she watched it once and never watched it again, liking Shrek far more.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s the point of this? Seven years have passed since The Little Mermaid was last released, which means there is now another limited release, 2-disc edition of the movie. I still like it, and still find Sebastian pretty darn funny, so I&#8217;ll be grabbing my very own copy (finally). If you liked it, you should, too, because this movie sells out every time. e-bay made it cheaper, but you&#8217;ll still pay fifty bucks two years from now when your baby grows into a toddler, so you may as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am sad to admit I&#8217;m actually a fan of the movie &#8220;The Little Mermaid&#8221;.
